We participated in an amazing Good Friday service tonight. This is an evening I look forward to every year. It’s a time to stop and focus on the sacrifice that was made for all of creation. It’s almost just too much to try and comprehend.
I caught myself praying, “God, I know I am not worthy enough….” and I immediately stopped myself. Who is worthy enough for the gift God gave us? The truth is, none of us are, but God knew before we were born that He would love us enough for the sacrifice He would make. God knew what He was doing. He knew that the hardest thing in the world would be to sacrifice His son, but it was done out of a love greater than we will ever understand.
My prayer for you is that you take a moment to stop and think about what we are celebrating. It’s not about the Easter bunny and the egg hunts or the pastel colors and new outfits for church, it’s about the One who saved us. The One who knows we fall short every single day of being great human beings. The One who will love us for all eternity.
Look at the hands of someone you love and imagine nails being driven through them. It’s too much! How in the world could someone do that?
It is the greatest gift that was given to the world…to each of us.
Make the most of each day and live it to the fullest.
Remember who came for you.
